Our stay was a memorable one. Though room looks compact but spacious enough - we had everything we needed and the social areas were comfortable Staff were friendly and Courteous. They served us with a smile and always happy to help. It was a pleasure to share Tamil and Sinhalese New Year here, share gifts and traditional foods. Meals were plentiful and variable. We enjoyed the waterfall trek and night walk with in-house Naturalist Jagath who showed enthusiasm and shared his knowledge of the rainforest, special thanks to Tami at Sales Dept

We stayed here for one night as part of a tour. First off, the one hour jeep drive to get to the lodge is quite the journey, a rough road up a steep hill with hairpin bends and no safety barriers. Not for nervous passengers. However, the views are stunning. We were welcomed to the lodge and taken along a steep, uneven path to our container accommodation. It was clean but basic, the upgrades which are in progress are definitely needed. The saloon doors to the bathroom afford little privacy, they definitely need a rethink. The bed was comfortable. However, the location of the room is stunning with all the sounds of the rainforest around you. We saw lots of rare birds on the early morning walk with the resident guide who was really good, it was what the trip was all about. The evening meal was of an amazing standard, one of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka. Quite how they managed to provide a fine dining experience in the middle of nowhere is a mystery! No alcohol is available here.
